Ranbir Kapoor has said that he would like to play a negative character.

The actor, who won accolades for his performances as a struggling singer in Rockstar and as a deaf-mute boy in Barfi!, said that he would like to recreate Amrish Puri's Mogambo from Mr India, PTI reports.

"I want to play the role of a villain. I like Mogambo. There is something really exciting about villains... they have beautiful girls around them every time, have lots of money and all the luxuries," said Kapoor.

"Villains have the best life... I really want to play a bad guy. But the only thing is they have to get beaten up by the hero in the end... but then it is okay."

The 30-year-old actor said that he was not keen on the current trend for remakes of popular films.

"I believe today times are changing in our industry and filmmakers are coming up with interesting subjects. So I feel why do something which has already been done by someone ... why not do something new and different? I don't believe in remakes," he explained.

"I don't think I would be able to do justice if I become a part of any of my dad's or Mr Amitabh Bachchan's remake films. I won't be able to do what they did."
